• Provide an opportunity for discussion of any planned bids for EC funding.
• Give hints and tips on how to construct a successful proposal.
• Enable staff to understand the different types of research and related funding available.
• Facilitate an awareness of administrative and financial procedures associated with EC funding.

Both academic and support staff are encouraged to attend. The event will last from 10am – 4pm, with an hour for lunch (location MC0021).

The morning session will include an overview of recently released FP7 calls (with deadlines from October 2009 – January 2010) and expected future priorities, as well as a presentation to show how UKRO can support you in bidding for EC funding.

The afternoon session will include a session on EU bid-writing tips as well as focused discussion on specific topics in EU funding. Contact us for more information.
